Conservation and Ecological Education at the NC Arboretum

Conservation and Ecological Education at the NC Arboretum Asheville is fortunate to be home to the beautiful North Carolina Arboretum, encompassing 435 acres of woods and formal gardens and 10 miles of trails. It is also a campus of the University of North Carolina and a center for ecological education for both children and adults. Jonathan will share the successful programs that engage learners across the state, including the Blue Ridge Naturalist certification, ecoEXPLORE family citizen science program and Project EXPLORE citizen science teacher training. He will also unveil the new Willow Pond outdoor classroom and garden, where tens of thousands of visitors will learn about biodiversity and storm water management. Preregistration is required for this program. A return email will provide the link needed to join the Zoom.
